7) SITE
PLAN FOR AVONDALE COLDWATER I (DR-06-20)
The
Council considered a request for Site Plan approval for Avondale Coldwater, an
8.3 acre shopping center with retail and office uses located on the northwest
corner of Coldwater Springs Blvd. and Avondale Blvd.
Scott Wilken, Senior
Planner, described the subject property as zoned PAD and described the surrounding
properties and vehicular access. He stated the site would include two
single-story retail/restaurant buildings, two single-story office buildings,
and one two-story office building, and extensive landscaping to include a 10'
wide landscape buffer adjacent to the residential. Mr. Wilken described the
hardscape as stamped, colored asphalt, porcelain traffic inserts and a
fountain. He informed the Council the shopping center is proposed to be
completed in three phases, the first phase being one of the retail/restaurant
buildings and two of the driveways, phase two being three of the office
buildings, and phase three being the remaining retail/restaurant building. Mr.
Wilken then showed the Council slides of the architecture and elevations. He
informed the Council that Staff believes that the site meets the objectives of
the General Plan and the Freeway Corridor Specific Plan, it is consistent with
the Coldwater Springs PAD Zoning, and it meets the requirements of the City of Avondale Zoning Ordinance. He stated the Planning Commission recommended approval subject
to the six staff recommended stipulations. Mr. Wilken invited questions from
Council.
Council questioned
a shortage of parking spaces if medical office tenants were in this shopping center.
Mr. Wilken replied if the report reflected that fact, it was incorrect, because
the Site Plan was designed for general office which has a requirement for one
parking space for every 250 feet, while medical office requires one parking
space for every 200 feet. He informed the Council that the architect had proposed
the Site Plan at one parking space for every 250 feet, but Staff had recalculated
the plan to make sure that if all the office space was used for medical office,
that there would be enough parking, and that is the case.
Council asked
about questions that Planning and Zoning had regarding engineering. Mr. Wilken
clarified he had checked with the Engineering Department on all questions and
everything was okay. Council discussed the use of metal roofs. Mr. Wilken
stated they had tried to minimize the use of metal roofs, and he had been talking
to the applicant who may be willing to use something other than metal on the
roofs if it is a concern of the Council. Council expressed discontent with the
appearance of the building, stating there was no life to the style of the
building, it looked like an elementary school, it looked like the building on
every street corner, it needs different architectural designs and that it
needed to be spruced up and needed color. Mr. Wilken responded the key
features of this site are the extensive landscaping and the stamped, colored
asphalt, as well as the palm trees lining the main stretch. He reiterated that
the applicant was willing to work with the Council to create whatever vision
they wanted and Council could add stipulations.
Some Council
Members stated the metal roofs add an architectural accent. Council Members
agreed this project has to go back to the developer as this does not help the
City achieve its goals for Avondale Blvd.
Council
continued to discuss the metal roofs, and stated they be anodized so the color
is permanent.
Vice Mayor Wolf
stated on projects fronting Avondale Blvd., he would like to see the signage
package for the projects.
Scott Wilken
stated the sign package criteria was meant to be included in Councils' packets.
Sherman Cawley,
Cawley Architects, Inc. replied they could return in two weeks and they understood
the comments made tonight. He stated they had spent quite a bit of time
developing the individual elements for each of the suites because they face Avondale
Blvd. and took time to create the pedestrian circulation path that ties all
five buildings together. He pointed out that the back of the retail buildings
have a concerted pedestrian walkway that ties them to the other three office buildings
in back to make a path that connects to the street and provides integrity to
the pedestrian environment inside the courtyard of the facility. Mr. Cawley
stated they were open to the colors and working with Staff and Council.
Mr. Cawley stated
they had designed the project eight months ago and started with the City six months
ago, and thus had not been privy to Council's current thinking, and they would
like an opportunity to update their plans because it would make a better project
all the way around.
Vice Mayor Wolf moved
to continue the request for Site Plan approval for Avondale Coldwater I
(DR-06-20) to September 17, 2007. Council Member Lynch seconded the motion.

5) INTERSTATE 10 ACCELERATION
FUNDING
MAG Regional
Council recommendation of $6 million to reimburse interest costs for the
Interstate 10 acceleration project.
Shirley Gunther,
Intergovernmental Affairs Manager, stated she wished to provide a background on
the MAG project, stating that on April 4, 2006, Avondale, Buckeye, Litchfield Park and Goodyear had a meeting where Goodyear City Manager, Steve Cleveland,
explained that through financing mechanisms the widening of I-10 could be
accelerated. She stated the Councils agreed at that time to move forward and
seek additional funding options, and on April 14, 2006 the MAG Regional Council approved seeking alternative funding through HELP and GANs for the I-10 acceleration
project. Ms. Gunther stated in June 2006, Governor Napolitano signed the
Statewide Transportation Acceleration Needs (STAN) account legislation to deal
with highway acceleration projects, which became effective in September of
2006. She explained it was then that the Mayor and Council learned that the
Avondale/Goodyear portion of the I-10 was not eligible for funding because the
STAN legislation did not specifically state that interest is reimbursable for
projects such as the I-10. At that point, Representative John Nelson
recommended amending the law to allow interest to be reimbursed through HB
2562, which was then amended onto HB 2793. She explained HB 2793 will include
$10 million in interest reimbursement for the I-10 project and $10 million for
a project in Queen Creek.
Ms. Gunther
further explained that HB 2793 also requires that MAG make recommendations for
the funding priorities and forward those recommendations to the State Transportation
Board for final review and approval. She stated the MAG Management Committee
heard the interest issue on August 8, 2007 and approved the project by a vote
of 19-6, and on August 20, 2007 the MAG Transportation Policy Committee
approved the project 12-4, and on August 22, 2007 the MAG Regional Council
would have approved the project by a vote of 14-10; however, a weighted vote
was called, so the motion died. Ms. Gunther explained a new motion was called
and passed to allow $6 million of the $10 million to be applied to the I-10
project and the other $4 million would go back into the MAG program for program
costs. Ms. Gunther summarized, stating the MAG Council has asked the cities to
return to their Councils and receive input on their recommendation that 60% be applied
to the local share and 40% be applied to the program share.
Mayor
Lopez-Rogers noted Representative Nelson was present and thanked him for his support
in resolving the I-10 issue, and thanked the West Valley Mayors for their assistance
in this effort. She stated she wished to make it perfectly clear that Avondale
has been committed to improving the I-10 because of the accident rates and
because it is a national corridor running from California to Florida with
significant economic and national security issues relevant to all Maricopa
cities and to the State. She stated what was always uncertain was how the
project would be funded, and as the Mayor of Avondale, and speaking for Mayor
Schoaf of Litchfield Park, they believe it is their obligation as Mayors to
pursue all funding options so that local residents are not stuck with the tab.
Mayor Lopez-Rogers frankly stated that while this position has put them at odds
with their partner in Goodyear, Mayor Cavanaugh never shared that same
conviction and instead has stated "he does not care who pays for it."
She declared she is not sure that his taxpayers are willing to take on a 10
million dollar cost for funding a Federal highway, and while he seems to think
that is okay, she does not. Therefore, she stated the City has stuck to its
commitment to push forward. Mayor Lopez-Rogers stated she had direction from
this Council to go for the full funding, and that is what was pursued. Mayor
Lopez-Rogers invited questions or comments from Council.
Council Member
Weise inquired where the 60-40 split came from. He stated he had understood
that the legislature was onboard, Representative Nelson had worked to get this
done, Governor Napolitano was onboard, MAG was onboard, and the funding was for
10 million dollars. He asked when the 60-40 split idea came up, had Mayor
Cavanaugh asked to talk to his partners.
Mayor
Lopez-Rogers interjected in response to Council Member Weise, stating that
before the Bill went before the MAG Transportation Policy Committee (TPC),
Mayor Schoaf, Mayor Cavanaugh, and she met and talked to their business
partners, and at that time Mayor Cavanaugh had said he had a meeting with
Phoenix and Mesa and he had been asked to please not make any deals. She stated
unfortunately a deal was cut that Avondale would get a 40-60 split. Mayor
Lopez-Rogers explained that going into the MAG TPC meeting, she believes that
was the understanding that Phoenix and Mesa had; however, having never talked
to Mayor Cavanaugh, she had no idea that this deal had been cut. Council Member
Weise asked if Mayor Cavanaugh had decided that all three cities would be willing
to pay 40 percent of this project. Mayor Lopez-Rogers replied she assumed that
was so.
Mayor
Lopez-Rogers stated that in a conversation with Mayor Cavanaugh, he indicated
he wanted to stay neutral, so he would not be advocating for any funding. Council
Member Weise clarified that Mayor Cavanaugh, who is the architect of this historic,
four-city meeting in April 2006, decided to stay neutral when it came to lobbying
Federal legislatures. Mayor Lopez-Rogers stated that was correct, the
statement he made to Mayor Schoaf and she was that "he did not care who
paid for it as long as it got done."
Council Member
Weise asked Ms. Gunther if during the process with Representative Nelson, Senator
Blendu, and other legislators, what kind of input was there from Goodyear
staff. Ms. Gunther responded that Goodyear's position was that since Mayor
Cavanaugh was the Chairman of the Regional Council, he wanted to remain neutral
and removed from any legislative endeavor at the State level.
Council Member
Weise asked Mayor Lopez-Rogers what conversations she had had with Goodyear
since last week on this issue. Mayor Lopez-Rogers responded there had been no
further conversations on this issue.
Council Member Buster
stated this is a testament to what can happen, as the cities have been working
together to get a significant portion of that 10 million dollars, hopefully
this week, and this just shows what can be done when we work together. He
stated credit should be given to the Council, the Mayor, Ms. Gunther, the
legislative delegation, and Representative Nelson. Council Member Buster
recommended the Mayor be given the ability to negotiate something north of
60-40.
Council Member Scott
thanked Representative Nelson for his help and the Council and Staff. He
stated while some people call this earmarking, this is a Federal highway. He
stated he is glad to see that Council is willing to work the extra hours to put
the least burden, if any, on the citizens. Council Member Scott stated Mayor
Cavanaugh could speak for his city, but not for Avondale, and he did not like
the deal making, and encouraged Mayor Lopez-Rogers to inform MAG that a 60-40
split is not acceptable to Avondale and he sees no reason why 4 million dollars
should go back into a pool.
Council Member
Earp stated he agreed with the other comments made by the Council and stated he
is not satisfied with the 60-40 split either. He recommended a 100-0 or 90-10
split.
Mayor
Lopez-Rogers stated the bottom line is that Avondale and Litchfield Park did play by the rules and did everything they were supposed to do, and this is a regional
highway and received regional support. She stated if the weighted vote had not
been called, the Council would be approving an IGA tonight. She thanked the
Council for supporting the efforts that have been made and the legislative
intent of giving 10 million dollars. Mayor Lopez-Rogers stated this was a slap
in the face to the legislators. She informed the Council she took their direction
seriously and vowed to fight for the full amount, and what she was hearing is
that we should be going back to the table.
Council Member
Weise stated he had watched the Goodyear Council meeting on their web cast and
some of the comments were disturbing to him. He stated the figures show that since
2004 there have been 12 deaths on I-10 in the areas the Council is concerned
with and while their impact should not be lessened, the Council should never
use the memories of people to advance the Council's political agendas or any
kind of civic project. He stated he would agree with the right to say how one
feels, but Mayor Cavanaugh had stated the east side cities and cities who voted
against this had legitimate arguments, and he would vehemently disagree with
that. Council Member Weise stated Avondale had went through all the correct
processes and took all necessary steps, and the only reason it was being discussed
tonight is because Goodyear decided to gang up on Avondale and work with Mesa,
Tempe, Chandler and Scottsdale to sabotage the funding that Avondale had worked
to get. He stated this bothers him because in the last years he has been on
the Council, Avondale has carried the water for Resolutions for the City of Phoenix, the City of Goodyear and other cities, and if these cities do not think that the widening
of I-10 affects them, they are foolish.
Council Member
Weise asked if last year Goodyear received money from STAN for the widening of
I-10. Ms. Gunther responded that Goodyear and Buckeye had received
approximately 49 million dollars to widen the I-10 from Sarival Avenue to Verrado
from the STAN fund. Council Member Weise inquired if Goodyear had given away
40 percent of that money and guessed the answer was no. He guessed when Mayor
Cavanaugh talked about partnership, partnership meant go it alone and never
discuss anything, while when Avondale discusses being partners with Litchfield,
it means we are all in this together. Council Member Weise encouraged Mayor
Lopez-Rogers that if she could do better than 60-40, to have at it, but he
would no longer carry water for the City of Goodyear on projects that they want
to get done in their city.
Vice Mayor Wolf stated
he is furious about this and what really bothers him is the concept that Avondale
is not being regional, and he does not agree. He stated in the beginning Avondale
had agreed with Buckeye, Litchfield Park and Goodyear to accelerate this State
and Federal project, and at that meeting Avondale was told to go get the money,
and the legislators have worked hard for two consecutive years and
Representative Nelson has led the charge, and they got the money. He
reiterated that Avondale was told to fix the legislation and the legislators
went to bat and made this a priority, and so did Council, while there were
certainly other issues they could have been lobbying for. Vice Mayor Wolf
stated Avondale has supported Phoenix on the 202 alignment and the Cart Race
and have invested regional time and money, and Avondale has taken the lead on
behalf of the region, including Goodyear, to get the money, and now they find
out Goodyear is willing to increase the burden on their residents, but also the
residents of Litchfield Park and Avondale, and he finds this regrettable. He
also finds it regrettable that the region preaching regionalism to him every
single time he talks to one of their members is now changing their tune, and he
reiterated this is not an earmark. Vice Mayor Wolf stated he is still willing
to work regionally because it is important and stated this freeway is
critically important and does need to be widened, and Avondale will have to work
with MAG. He opined what has happened within MAG undermines the regional component
that MAG brings to the table, and stated that greatly bothers him. Vice Mayor Wolf
encouraged Mayor Lopez-Rogers to work with MAG on the funding and look for an
80-20 split, which he considers his minimum split. He stated anything less
than 10 million dollars is MAG not thinking regionally. He stated 10 million
is what Avondale deserves and 60-40 is ridiculous.
Council Member
Lynch thanked Representative Nelson for his work and Ms. Gunther for her
hours. She stated she is extremely concerned that they have gotten something through
the legislature for very specific funding and now someone is changing the rules,
and wonders where that will leave Avondale in the eyes of the legislature going
forward. Council Member Lynch then read a statement for the record.
'I have read the
comments regarding the MAG meeting in the various papers. I believe I can
clarify what brought us to this point since when I was Vice Mayor in 2004-05, I
represented Avondale at many meetings convened in Goodyear City Hall. I'm saying convened because they were convened there; they were not led by
Goodyear. They were led by Avondale and mainly by Charlie. We were both in
attendance. We were both in attendance at a number of mayor and manager
meetings, where although we did not have a transportation staff, Charlie was
assigned to go back and get answers on several occasions, once by the City of
Youngtown, secondly by the City of Goodyear, which had more staff than we do.
Charlie went back, and between he and Staff, he did the calculations that
needed to be done to find out what would work and what it would cost. He did a
great job even though, as I said, others had more staff.
At the Goodyear
meetings, Rep. Nelson, Wiers and Senator Blendu were all in attendance. It was
our Legislative Representatives who suggested they should bring the STAN issue
to the Legislature, thus STAN 1 was passed, but left out the very issue that we
are addressing. Thus they went back and Rep. Nelson was the key that went back
and brought forward STAN 2. It was at that point that this allowed the signing
of the infamous document in early 2006 to move ahead with the plans for I-10.
While our cities
supported the correction, they did not propose it. They did not bring about
any earmarks. All of the cities in the County, as well as MAG, had the
opportunity to hear and address the issues during the Legislative Session.
They did not, nor did they verbally support what the Legislature was trying to
accomplish. So the bill was passed and signed by the Governor.
All of a sudden
because the West Valley got something to help them build a Federal Highway,
mayhem began and earmarking was the charge. I do not believe any other cities in
the County, or perhaps the State, have built, repaired or even widened a Federal Highway. They have done roads of significant value to their own cities. However,
in order to get truck and other traffic through our cities and to their cities,
and to save the lives of our residents, we stepped forward to the plate to do
what Congress refuses to do - widen and improve the road. And some of this was
discussed in 2004 at the Arizona League of Cities Conference.
While I think it
is very unfair that our cities chose to use the tactic they did, I also think
we should not have stooped to their level and let our tempers get the best of
us, at least that is what the papers said happened. We knew several days in
advance they would probably pull this tactic, so maybe we should have held a Special
Council Meeting, who knows, and given direction to the Mayor. Since we did
not, she was obligated to take it back to us for discussion.
My personal
belief, and several Council Members have already said this, is that we go for
the $8 million. We’ve heard it already bantered about. If we cannot do that,
then we could settle for $7 million, but certainly not $6 million. We should avoid
any name calling or any form of personal or other charges that go down to their
level. We step up to the plate, we take the money, and we move ahead to find
the balance to pay for the roadway. I know it means dollars from our taxpayers
and our general fund, but at least it will be over seven years and give us time
to put it in the CIP and move forward on a positive basis.
As John F.
Kennedy said, “Actions deferred are all too often lost opportunities.” We have
this one more opportunity to stand up for Avondale and the region and build
this road whether we agree with all that has happened or not. Let’s take the
positive route.'
Mayor
Lopez-Rogers stated she had the direction she needed and thanked Ms. Gunther
for her presentation.
6) INTERGOVERNMENTAL
AGREEMENT – ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR COST SHARING – 107TH
AVENUE OVERPASS STRUCTURE ON INTERSTATE 10
Kelly LaRosa,
Traffic Engineering Department, started with the background, stating the I-10
widening was being completed in two parts: A median widening which will create
an additional general purpose lane and a new HOV lane, and outside widening
which will create an additional general purpose lane. She stated the City of Avondale has jurisdiction of 107th Avenue under I-10, and ADOT has jurisdiction
of the I-10 Freeway. Ms. LaRosa stated the Avondale Transportation Plan demonstrated
the need to widen 107th Avenue to 6 lanes and the current overpass bridge
structure on I-10 over 107th Avenue is not wide enough to do that. She
stated Staff had requested that ADOT explore the cost to replace the structure
to accommodate Avondale's future needs, and ADOT had determined the cost to be
approximately 4 million dollars. She explained that in late June 2007, ADOT had
met with Staff and graciously offered to evenly share in the cost of the replacement
structure, which Staff considered a good deal. Ms. LaRosa mentioned the
aesthetic enhancements would be addressed in another IGA to be brought before Council
in the future.
For the current
Joint Project Agreement, Ms. LaRosa explained that the State will act as the
lead agency and will provide the design plans, specifications, and other
documents, and the services required for construction, and will bid and award
the construction contracts and perform the inspections. She outlined the State
will invoice the City $300,000 due 30 days after award of the construction contract
by the State Transportation Board, $300,000 due 120 days after award of the construction
contract, and $1,419,334.50 on or after July 1, 2008. Ms. La Rosa explained
that the City will review the design documents, will be responsible for 50% of
the project costs, will remit payment to the State within 30 days upon receipt
of invoices, and will be responsible for all maintenance within the City's jurisdiction.
Ms. LaRosa explained
to the Council that to accommodate the cost, Staff proposes that a line item
for the 107th Avenue overpass structure on the I-10 project will
need to be created, and funding for this project can be made available through
the cost savings of a CIP project, that of the traffic signal at Indian School
Road and El Mirage which has $500,000 available due to project cost savings and
cost participation from Maricopa County. She stated additional funding can be
obtained by changing the schedules of two CIP projects: The deferral of the Avondale Blvd. – Northbound at I-10, Right Turn Lanes, which will attribute $420,000, and
the Buckeye Road – 107th Avenue to Avondale, Medians, which will
attribute $1,200,000. Ms. LaRosa stated Staff proposes to have a Resolution by
October 1, 2007.
Charlie
McClendon, City Manager, added that the northbound duel right turn lanes from Avondale
Blvd. onto the I-10 was designed, and then ADOT indicated that the City would need
to redo part of the ramps because of the way the slope was changing, which
dramatically increased the costs. He stated when the City does the widening of
the underpass at I-10 and Avondale Blvd., that project can be incorporated with
that and both projects can be done at that time.
